1 TWC Apprenticeship Program Exit Cohort As authorized by Texas Education Code, Chapter 133, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) receives funds from the Texas Legislature for registered apprenticeship training programs and administers these funds as set forth in the Commission s Apprenticeship Training Program rules (40 TAC, Chapter 837). However, not all registered apprenticeship training programs apply for these Chapter 133 funds. The U.S. Department of Labor s (DOL) Office of Apprenticeship (OA) continues to encourage the building and strengthening of partnerships between the registered apprenticeship system and the Texas workforce system. Local Workforce Development Boards (Boards) have been encouraged to use their local flexibility to supplement apprenticeship programs with Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds. Registered apprenticeship training programs have a proven success record. For example, in Fiscal Year 2006 (FY 06) registered apprenticeship training programs, including those funded under Chapter 133, earned an overall: Successful completion rate of 71.2 percent; First- to second-year average wage increase of 16.7 percent; and First- to fourth-year average wage increase of 57 percent. Chapter 133 funds pay only a small portion of the direct training costs associated with registered apprenticeship training programs, which can leave these programs lacking funds to provide the training needed at other stages of the process. Boards interested in benefiting from the successful completion rates and wage increases proven to result from registered apprenticeship training programs can use WIA funds to supplement them, including those programs funded by Chapter 133. As Boards develop and update their workforce strategies to target high-growth, high-demand occupations, TWC believes that strengthening partnerships between Boards and registered apprenticeship training programs will maximize the use of available training dollars. Combining a Board s expertise and access to its local workforce development area (workforce area) with registered apprenticeship training programs success in delivering training is a winning combination for Boards, employers, and job seekers. WIA extends automatic initial eligibility to registered apprenticeship training programs. Registered apprenticeship training programs must apply to the Board in order to be included on Texas Statewide List of Certified Training Providers. However, they are not required to submit performance information for initial eligibility determination. TWC Apprenticeship Program Exit Cohort Page 1

2 Seed Records TWC s Labor Market and Career Information department received 3,508 Apprenticeship program seed records from TWC s Workforce Policy and Service Delivery department in Apprenticeship programs last between 3 and 5 years, depending on the occupation of training. Even though a program may take years on the whole, each year of the program is a separate component that must be completed, and each year has requirements and benchmarks that must be met before a participant can advance to the next year. It is analogous to high school, where each year has unique curriculum which must be completed before advancement to the next grade. After removing the duplicates, there remained 3,494 usable, unique records. Those records were then linked to the TWC s Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage record database for the 4 th quarter of 2007 to determine post-program employment and earnings. The seed records were also linked to the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics, in order to determine if any former participants were deceased. After removing the deceased, there were 3,487 records retained for analysis. Results Employment and median quarterly earnings by completion status can be seen on Tables 1 and 2, respectively. As would be expected, participants who successfully completed the year s training and advanced on to the next had the highest employment (89.2) and median quarterly earnings ($8,159). The data do not distinguish those who have completed their entire course of apprenticeship training from those who have completed a particular year of training and are moving on to the next. Since full-time employment is a requirement of the program, and the employment data is from the 4 th quarter of 2007, some members of the Successfully Completed and Advanced category are participants who have completed their entire course of training, but not all.

We can see in Table 3 that participants who completed their fifth year of apprenticeship training had the highest employment at 90.1 percent. There are no apprenticeships lasting longer than five years, so all participants in this category have successfully completed their training. Table 4 shows that participants completing their fifth year also had the highest median quarterly earnings with $12,444. Table 3.

4 Table 5 shows employment for the top 20 occupations of training for program participants. The three occupations with the most participants were Electrician, Plumber/Pipefitter, and Sheet Metal Worker. Plumber/HVAC had the highest employment during the target quarter at 92.4 percent employed, followed by Insulator. Employment for the entire cohort in the 4 th quarter of 2007 was 85.5 percent. Plumber/Pipefitters had the highest employment of the three most numerous programs with 88.8 percent of apprentices employed. Table 5.

Overall median quarterly earnings for the cohort were $7,923 in the 4 th quarter of Operating Engineers had the highest median earnings of all occupations with $12,409. Plumber/Pipefitter apprentices had the highest median quarterly earnings between the three most common occupations, earning $8,766. Electricians, the largest group, had median quarterly earnings of $7,883. Table 6.

10 As would be expected, Building Equipment Contractors was the industry of employment with the largest number of Apprenticeship program participants found employed in the 4 th quarter of 2007 (Table 11). Participants found working in the Other Specialty Trade Contractors industry had the highest median quarterly earnings at $12,178. Six of the ten industries in the top ten were either contracting or construction. Table 11.

11 In Table 12 we see that South Plains College was the higher education institution with the most Apprenticeship program participants enrolled in the Fall semester of Overall, just over 2 percent of the cohort was found enrolled. It is important to note that South Plains College is one of the Apprenticeship program training providers, and that could at least partly explain why we see such a large percentage of those enrolled in school enrolled there.
